I have no idea if you'll see this after all this time. I just spent the past two months working through this series. This is one of the most beautiful collections of stories I have ever read. I laughed and I cried. I'm so glad I stumbled across this site and your stories. Thank you for sharing.

I just wanted you to know that I still read these adorable stories, I still love them, and I'm so happy you wrote them.

Author Reply: Thank you so very much! (((((HUGS)))))

I miss writing these little looks at the hobbits as children. It is so very sweet of you to let me know that you still enjoy them. They make me think of a time when everyone was writing and all of us were having such fun! Now and again, I get the urge to write more of these. The next time that happens, maybe I will. : )

I just wanted you to know I just re-read this, and I love it just as much now as I did when you first wrote it for me! (((hugs))))



Author Reply: When I got the alert that I had a review of this series, I was baffled. (a bit like Freddy is in this story.) It's been so long since I wrote anything for this one that I thought perhaps it was a very, very, very, late notification! LOL
Anyway, I am very glad that you *still* like this one. It was a great deal of fun to write and I thank you for the plot bunny that set it in motion.

Here's to the good ole days, when the stories were plentiful and the fandom was at its height! Cheers!

*laughes* What a great and hilarious conversation!

Author Reply: Hey, Golden! Good to hear from you. I wondered where you'd disappeared to. Haven't seen you on LJ or here in a while. Thanks for the review and I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
Have a very happy holiday season!

I'm sitting here quietly turning blue as I hold in my laughter--if I pass out it will be all your fault! (See, I'm learning something from Pippin: blame it on someone else!) Of course it's my own fault, I already knew how funny it was before I started re-reading at 5AM.

But I'm so glad you put it here--and I think your reason for the numbering makes perfect sense to me! Now you are at the round number of 60, which will be a good place to stop.

But you mustn't stop writing Merry and Pip stories. I suppose it's time to open up "Trust a Took and a Brandybuck II".

Author Reply: When I first read this I thought the thing you'd learned from Pippin had to do with the color blue, as in blue paint on the bench! LOL
Now I realize that you meant you'd learned to blame others. hehehe

I'm glad you see the reasoning. I sometimes do a bit of Pip logic on my own and then no one gets it. I really did think I was through posting to this group but this story just fits here and whatever else, I did want that one story as the ending one for obvious reasons.

Trust a Took and a Brandybuck II? Catchy title. I'll give that some thought...


Thanks for stopping by to read a second time.

How beautiful to read this again--and SO Merry and Pippinish! Hooray! And I'm so glad that Arwen listened! Yes!

Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing this one and re-reading. It's always nice when someone returns to read again. : )

"I’ve seen you do it when you were cold but I wouldn’t consider it a habit of yours. Is shivering a habit of yours as well?"

"I sit like this when I’m alone. You can’t have noticed it before now because when I’m alone, you aren’t there. And I am not shivering!"


ROTFL!!! Now, that's logical, indeed :-)

I enjoyed this conversation a great deal! Some comedians could learn a lot from those two.

There had to be a very good reason why Pippin was sitting on that splendid blue-painted, well-crafted, position-optimised, non-rickety walnut-bench for hours and hours conversing with the most fascinating people and without ANY beer ;-)

Thank you for making me laugh, G.W.!

Author Reply: So glad you enjoyed this. I had fun trying to do it all without anything other than dialogue. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing and most of all, for laughing. I just love that!
